@huziorm What is your unweighted GPA? Also, your SAT is low for Miami, but your rank is high. You stand a chance.
my School doesn’t show unweighted, but I have had all A’s since freshmen year. Thank you though!

I think you stand a good chance, grades are fairly more important than SAT scores.

@aznboi4981, if that’s your unweighted GPA then I see you getting in (most likely). Even if you get deferred (which I doubt), if you’re confident about a higher ACT then you’ll be set.
@FishesNBitches, What are your thoughts on when applicants will be notified for EA? The web site says “mid-January” and “late January” on the same page. Kind of confusing?
